Re: Drive Train Controls
I'm a huge fan of splitting arcade drive between to joysticks on a game controller, get the Y axis of the left joystick and the X axis of the right. This makes it to where pretty much anyone can drive the robot semi-okay without needing a whole lot of practice as it pretty much drives like a vehicle in a video game.
You can still build your same style of robot with two sets of non-strafing wheels on each side, and the controls will take care of it.
I'm also a huge fan of game pad's because when I was driving I played a lot of video games (still do however) and the controller just felt comfortable.
